One can't overestimate the importance of image branding. Hitler lost the war because of a weak branding strategy that failed to inspire and retain the sympathies of the world community. In spite of the best efforts by the Nazi Reich Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, the Hitler brand was mostly associated with such trigger words as war, evil, destruction, violence, aggression, racism, bigotry, slavery, oppression, and death.
Since then the science of branding and public relations has progressed exponentially, helping the most disadvantaged candidates to win in the court of public opinion by hiring the best political technologists money can buy. Those who would otherwise have a hard time retaining loyalty and support even from their mothers, can now easily become influential leaders, start and win wars, or take over the world if they so desire, as long as their brand has been correctly marketed to evoke such key words and phrases as peace, tolerance, diversity, togetherness, inclusiveness, multiculturalism , international friendship, building bridges, raising awareness, and strengthening communities.
In this sense, Adolf Hitler was a man who came too early. Had he and Goebbels been familiar with modern brand marketing, we would all be speaking German today. See example above and a larger sample below.
